I never expected to catch Dijon. But on my get-go trip to France, I asked my Parisian friends for suggestions for where to acquire as well as they said Dijon as well as nearby Beaune, hence off I went. The historic upper-case missive of the alphabet of Burgundy, Dijon is a dramatic looking metropolis amongst lots to practise as well as see. It has many museums, churches, medieval buildings amongst gargoyles as well as stunning geometrically patterned roofs of green, white, yellow, dark as well as terracotta ceramic tiles.
When most people mean value Dijon, they mean value mustard. But Dijon is inwards vino country, dwelling of Coq au Vin, Boeuf Bourguinon as well as lots of other rich as well as rustic dishes including the classic grooming of Escargot inwards garlic, butter as well as parsley. In improver to Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Gamay as well as Aligoté, the share is too known for Cremant de Bourgogne as well as cassis. It's worth noting that you lot tin terminate acquire to Dijon inwards nether ii hours from Paris if you lot accept the TGV.
But let's speak mustard. If I had to lead i mustard exclusively (currently I lead keep seven opened upwardly jars inwards my fridge) it would move Dijon. It's mellow as well as sophisticated inwards color simply amongst a spicy bite. It's made from chocolate-brown or dark mustard seeds as well as unremarkably from white vino vinegar, though initially it was made amongst verjus, a form of unripe grape juice. Dijon is where you'll uncovering the master Maille shop, founded inwards 1747, the windows filled amongst handsome ceramic mustard jars of all sizes. There is roughly other Maille boutique inwards Paris (right close Fauchon as well as Laduree at house de la Madeleine).
I'm rather fond of the Maille create (now a subsidiary of Unilever), it industrial plant specially good inwards recipes as well as is non really expensive. If you lot substitute Grey Poupon (owned past times Kraft), you lot volition notice a divergence (and it does non move every bit good inwards vinaigrette recipes). In French Republic you lot tin terminate purchase Dijon mustard flavored amongst everything from cassis to blueish cheese to cognac, nuts, mushrooms, as well as piment d'espelette. Having been on the giving as well as receiving end, a small-scale jounce of flavored Dijon mustard makes a fine gift.
Here are roughly ways to job Dijon mustard (other than on sandwiches as well as hot dogs)
* Combine amongst crude as well as vinegar to create a classic vinaigrette
* Add to quiche recipes, especially quiche lorraine
* Slather on fish fillets earlier baking
* Mix amongst dear to create a dipping sauce, too non bad on salmon
* Add a behavior upon to macaroni as well as cheese
* Use inwards baked beans
* Combine mustard as well as olive crude amongst ruby potatoes hence roast until crusty
* Coat pork chops or chicken inwards mustard hence crust amongst panko as well as bake
* Add to murphy as well as egg salads
* Spread it on breadstuff instead of butter
* Simmer mustard amongst pan drippings, wine, broth as well as cream to create a sauce for roast chicken
* Add to barbecue sauce
